Lord Laming to address Victoria Climbie Memorial Lecture

Lord Laming will address The Victoria Climbie Memorial Lecture later this month to mark the seventh anniversary of the eight-year-old child’s death.

Victoria Climbie would have been celebrating her 16th birthday this year had she been saved from abuse at the hands of her great aunt Marie Therese Kouao and her boyfriend Carl Manning who were convicted of murder and child cruelty and sentenced to life imprisonment in January 2001.

When she died in February 2000, she was found with 128 separate injuries on her tiny frame.
